Northern Illinois University’s graduation provides economic boost for local businesses

By BRETT ROWLAND browland@shawmedia.com DeKALB – Local businesses are preparing for a bump in sales when Northern Illinois University students and their family members and friends come to town to celebrate graduation next weekend.

Restaurants, hotels, florists, grocers, liquor stores and others are stocking up for NIU’s spring graduation weekend, which is expected to bring tens of thousands of visitors to the area. Graduate school ceremonies are planned for

May 8, with the bulk of the university’s undergraduate ceremonies the next day.

“It’s a big weekend with lots of overnight guests,” said Debbie Armstrong, executive director of DeKalb County Convention & Visitors Bureau. “It’s a huge event that brings a large number of people to the area and generates visitor spending. We look forward to it every year.”

Local eateries are starting to fill up with reservations from graduating seniors and their families.

DeKALB – City and county officials seeking state and federal funds to build a $16.75 million public transportation facility on Barber Greene Road.

The DeKalb City Council voted Monday to approve submitting a capital assistance grant application to the Illinois Department of Transportation for $3 million to build the facility. The county is seeking a similar grant for $550,000.

The joint city-county project would rely on additional federal grant funding that local officials are working to secure, officials said. The new facility would stretch from Barber Greene Road to County Farm Road between the DeKalb County Highway Department and TAILS Humane Society.

The existing 13,000-square-foot DeKalb County Public Transportation Facility at 1606 Bethany Road in Sycamore was built in the late 1980s.

The building is in good condition, but is deteriorating and doesn’t have enough space to house and maintain the fleet of vehicles required to serve the area’s public transportation needs, according to city and county documents.

At the time the existing facility was built, nonprofit transportation provider Voluntary Action Center had ridership of about 50,000 rides a year. Last year, the organization provided a record 228,192 rides. It is on pace to pass that number this year, Voluntary Action Center Executive Director Tom Zucker said.

“Public and community transportation services provide a vital lifeline for thousands of DeKalb County residents including several thousand city of DeKalb and city of Sycamore

Riot, looting prompt state of emergency, curfew in Baltimore

By TOM FOREMAN Jr. and AMANDA LEE MYERS The Associated Press BALTIMORE – Rioters plunged part of Baltimore into chaos Monday, torching a pharmacy, setting police cars ablaze and throwing bricks at officers hours after thousands mourned the man who died from a severe spinal injury he suffered in police custody.

The governor declared a state of emergency and called in the National Guard to restore order, and Attorney General Loretta Lynch, in her first day on the job, said she would send Justice Department officials to the city in coming days. A week-

long, daily curfew was imposed beginning today from 10 p.m. to 5 a.m., the mayor said. At least 15 officers were hurt, and about two dozen people were arrested. Two officers remained hospitalized, police said.

“The National Guard represents the last resort in restoring order,” Gov. Larry Hogan told a news conference. “I have not made this decision lightly.”

Officers wearing helmets and wielding shields occasionally used pepper spray to keep the rioters back. For the most part, however, they relied on line formations to keep protesters at bay.

Monday’s riot was the latest flare-up over the mysterious

death of Freddie Gray, whose fatal encounter with officers came amid the national debate over police use of force, especially when black suspects are involved. Gray was African-American. Police have declined to specify the races of the six officers involved in his arrest, all of whom have been suspended with pay while they are under investigation.

Emergency officials were constantly thwarted as they tried to restore calm. Firefighters trying to put out a blaze at a CVS store were hindered by someone who sliced holes in a hose connected to a fire hydrant, spraying water all over the street and nearby buildings.

Later Monday night, mayoral spokesman Kevin Harris confirmed that a massive fire that had erupted in East Baltimore was also related to the riots. He said the Mary Harvin Transformation Center was under construction and that no one was believed to be in the building at the time. The center is described online as a community-based organization that supports youth and families.

The smell of burned rubber wafted through one neighborhood where youths were looting a liquor store. Police stood still nearby as people drank looted alcohol. Glass and trash

Monika Basnet, 15, (right) holds her brother Munal Basnet, 10, during Monday’s cremation of their father killed in Saturday’s earthquake, at the Pashupatinath temple, on the banks of Bagmati River, in Kathmandu, Nepal.

“There are people who are not getting food and shelter.

I’ve had reports of villages where 70 percent of the houses have been destroyed,” said Udav Prashad Timalsina, the top official for the Gorkha region.

World Vision aid worker Matt Darvas arrived in the district in the afternoon and said almost no assistance had reached there ahead of him.

Newer concrete buildings were intact, Darvas said, but some villages were reported

to be devastated. He cited a “disturbing” report from the village of Singla, where up to 75 percent of the buildings may have collapsed and there has been no contact since Saturday night.

In the villages that have been reached, World Vision said the greatest needs were for search-and-rescue teams, food, blankets, tarps and medical treatment.

Timalsina said 223 people had been confirmed dead in Gorkha district but he pre-

sumed “the number would go up because there are thousands who are injured.”

He said his district had not received enough help from the central government, but Jagdish Pokhrel, a clearly exhausted army spokesman, said nearly the entire 100,000-soldier army was involved in rescue operations.

“We have 90 percent of the army out there working on search and rescue,” he said.

“We are focusing our efforts on that, on saving lives.”

Deadly Nevada prison brawl stokes mystery

By KEN RITTER The Associated Press LAS VEGAS – This much is certain: Two handcuffed inmates at one of Nevada’s toughest prisons brawled in a hallway, and one ended up dead from several shotgun blasts. The other was declared guilty of murder, even though he never touched a gun.

Prison officials acknowledged the death in November with only a short statement, and for months they never mentioned that a weapon was involved or that it had been fired by a trainee guard.

Since then, the mystery of the shooting near the showers in a segregation unit at High Desert State Prison has only deepened.

Now attorneys for both inmates are accusing prison guards of instigating the fight to set up a gladiator-style contest and then trying to cover it up by blaming the surviving prisoner.

Prison officials have been slow to release essential details, and they recently withdrew the murder allegation after disclosing the trainee’s involvement.

The many lingering questions have drawn in elected officials, too, with the attorney general reviewing an investigation and the governor promising to help get to the bottom of the incident.

“The shooting itself is highly disturbing,” Alexis Plunkett, attorney for the surviving inmate, Andrew Arevalo, told The Associated Press.

“But it’s really over the top that [prison officials] immediately filed a murder charge against Andrew, who was absolutely the victim in every possible way.”

It all started Nov. 12 deep inside the largest of Nevada’s 22 prison facilities, which

TODAY’S TALKER

KATHMANDU, Nepal – As the death toll from Nepal’s devastating earthquake climbed past 4,000, aid workers and officials in remote, shattered villages near the epicenter pleaded Monday for food, shelter and medicine.

Help poured in after Saturday’s magnitude-7.8 quake, with countries large and small sending medical and rescue teams, aircraft and basic supplies. The small airport in the capital of Kathmandu was congested and chaotic, with some flights forced to turn back early in the day.

Buildings in parts of the city were reduced to rubble, and there were shortages of food, fuel, electricity and shelter. As bodies were recovered, relatives cremated the dead along the Bagmati River, and at least a dozen pyres burned late into the night.

Conditions were far worse in the countryside, with rescue workers still struggling to reach mountain villages two days after the earthquake.

Some roads and trails to the Gorkha district, where the quake was centered, were blocked by landslides – but also by traffic jams that regularly clog the route north of Kathmandu.

This photo shows guard towers April 15 at High Desert State Prison in Indian Springs, Nev., one of Nevada’s toughest prisons. Attorneys for two inmates involved in a deadly prison brawl are accusing prison guards of instigating the fight to set up a gladiator-style contest and then trying to cover it up by blaming the surviving prisoner. houses about a quarter of the state’s 12,700 inmates.

Arevalo, 24, and Carlos Manuel Perez Jr., 28, were both released into the hall and soon were on the floor, kicking at each other with their hands cuffed behind their backs.

A Nov. 13 report by the trainee guard describes how he warned the men to stop fighting, fired one blank, issued more warnings and then fired three live rounds down the hall. At that point, he said, he stopped to reload.

“They continued kicking each other even though they were bleeding,” the guard wrote.

Perez died of gunshot wounds to the head, neck, chest and arms. Arevalo suffered similar wounds but survived.

Guards have a history of using gunfire to control the 4,200 inmates at the prison about 45 miles outside Las Vegas.

Records show guards fired 215 shots in a five-year span, including 60 rounds in 2011,

the latest year for which figures are available. That was nearly twice the total of 124 shots fired by guards during the same period at all the state’s other prisons combined.

The practice continues.

State prisons chief Greg Cox reported that several inmates were injured by a guard firing a shotgun to break up a fight Tuesday at Ely State Prison, the state’s maximum-security facility. Most injuries were minor, Cox said.

Attorney Cal Potter, representing Perez’s family in the wrongful-death lawsuit, alleges the High Desert trainee, another guard and a supervising lieutenant created a “gladiator-like scenario” before the shooting. He said they released Arevalo and Perez together into the shower hallway, where prisoners are supposed to walk alone.

By the end of January, prison administrators held a hearing and declared Arevalo responsible for murder, assault and battery. He was sentenced

to 18 months in the isolation cell known as “the hole,” according to prison disciplinary forms provided to the AP. The prison administrative process is separate from criminal courts.

Last week, months after Arevalo was put in isolation, prison officials withdrew the murder and assault allegations after objections from his lawyer and repeated questions from the AP. “A review of the entire incident will result in some of the charges being reduced,” prison Warden Dwight Neven wrote in an April 17 memo to Arevalo’s lawyer. It said the hearing officer’s Jan. 26 disciplinary decision was based on “some evidence,” including the trainee’s report. The memo did not say whether – or what – other evidence was considered.

“New information regarding the facts surrounding the charges” led to the reversal, the corrections department said Thursday in a statement.

Prison records provided by Plunkett show Arevalo’s term in isolation was reduced from 18 months to 120 days. The battery charge is still pending.

Plunkett said she believes her client was blamed for Perez’s death in a botched effort by prison officials to cover up the killing. She maintains that Arevalo did not kill Perez and only fought to defend himself.

Prison officials “never intended to make this shooting public,” Plunkett said. “Andrew never had a gun in his hands. He was handcuffed.”

Prisons officials have said little, citing the ongoing investigation.

The first news release, issued Nov. 13, reported only that Perez had died. The 78word announcement made no mention of a shooting or of Arevalo.

Sycamore Sportsmen’s Club Sycamore Park District touts credit rating, outlook donates $10K to Fairdale relief

By ADAM POULISSE

apoulisse@shawmedia.com

By ADAM POULISSE apoulisse@shawmedia.com SYCAMORE – The Sycamore Park District is getting high marks for its financial standing and ability to meet its obligations.

Last week, the bond rating agency Standard & Poor’s gave the park district a long-term rating of A with a positive outlook, which will make it easier for the district to borrow the necessary funds for several projects planned as part of its Action 2020 program, district Vice President Michelle Schulz said.

“It’s like having a better credit rating,” she said. “When we seek out a bond to help with Action 2020, they’re going to look at [the park district’s] credit rating, and [the better the rating] the less money we’ll have to pay in interest.”

Voters in November approved a park district plan to issue $9 million in bonds for a new 22,400-square-foot community center, splash pad,

dog park, sled hill, updated golf course irrigation system, trail connections and sports complex improvements and expansion to Sycamore’s park system by the year 2020.

The district likely will have at least one more credit evaluation before it sells the bulk of the Action 2020 bonds, Park District Executive Director Dan Gibble said.

Other factors that influenced the district’s rating include employment access to Chicago, and good income and wealth levels, S&P said in a news release.

“The rating reflects our views of the district’s strong financial operation with strong reserves, and its moderate debt burden,” S&P credit analyst Andrew Truckenmiller said in a news release. Truckenmiller said S&P expects the district’s reserve position “to substantially improve in 2015 and 2016 due to the recently approved property tax increase and sustainable savings from previous years’ budget adjust-

ments.”

Schulz said it’s a “win-win for the taxpayers,” because it shows the funds are properly budgeted, Schulz said.

“It means that you’re taking care of your budget, and that your funds are where they’re supposed to be,” Schulz said.

“It’s a reflection of us as a community.”

In 2013, Sycamore Park District’s rating was upgraded to A with a stable outlook from A minus with a stable outlook, Gibble said. He said the rule of thumb with each letter increase awarded – A minus to A, A to A plus, for example – usually leads to an interest rate 1⁄10 of a point lower.

“Working with your bond rating is a slow process,” Gibble said in an email. “We are proud to be ahead of many other units of government and way ahead of our state in these terms. We continue to strive for improvement and will have at least one more rating before we sell our large bond issue for Action 2020.”

FAIRDALE – Sycamore Sportsman’s Club has donated $10,000 to help with Fairdale recovery.

According to club treasurer Bill Malm, it was all part of a higher purpose.

“Some of us are Christian guys, and it’s part of God’s plan to help others whenever we can,” he said.

Sycamore Sportsmen’s and Conservation Club at 1773 W. Motel Road near Sycamore, does no internal fundraising, Malm said, so the $10,000 came from club money, including membership dues and shooting-range fees.

“We know sometimes it takes a while for insurance to kick in,” Malm said. “There are other things that they need that insurance doesn’t cover.”

Members of the club presented the $10,000 check to Kirkland Fire Chief Chad

By DAILY CHRONICLE DeKALB – A DeKalb man was killed and his wife was injured Friday after a collision in Aurora.

Eddie D. Bermea, 34, of the 1500 block of Grand Drive, DeKalb, and his wife, Joyce T. Bermea, were driving northbound on Eola Road when a 1995 Nissan Pathfinder driven by Shayan U. Farooqi, 21, of the 1700 block of Hackney Drive, Aurora, crossed over the median and collided with

the DeKalb couple’s 2009 Honda Fit. Farooqi told police his vehicle had mechanical issues and he lost control, according to a news release from the Aurora Police Department. The collision happened at 5:50 p.m.

Friday just north of Prospect Drive on Aurora’s far east side in the DuPage County section of the city.

Eddie Bermea died at the scene. Aurora firefighters extricated Joyce Bermea and took her to an Aurora area hospital, according to police. She

was critically injured, police said. An update on her condition wasn’t immediately available Monday.

Farooqi was able to crawl out of the Pathfinder, which ended up on its side. He was taken to a separate Aurora area hospital with injuries that were not life-threatening, according to the news release.

Farooqi was the only person in the Pathfinder. he was cited for improper lane usage, police said. The preliminary investigation indicated that alcohol was not a factor in the collision.

Connell on Sunday at the fire department. Connell said he was “overwhelmed” at the size of the donation.

“We’ve been accepting money for a little over two weeks now, and that’s one of the bigger checks that I’ve personally received,” Connell said. “I was pretty excited for

the people who were affected.”

Connell said the money received by the Kirkland Fire Department – about $50,000 donated in cash and tens of thousands more in gift cards – will be evenly distributed to the affected families later this week.

By DAILY CHRONICLE news@daily-chronicle.com DeKALB – Police are advising residents to be aware of scammers posing as area inspectors attempting to gain access to a person’s home.

Over the past two days, the DeKalb Police Department has received “several calls” from people reporting a caller from the 815 area code claiming to be an employee of a company called Premier Services, according to a news

release. The caller uses aggressive and intimidating tactics to pressure their target to arrange a face-to-face meeting for a mandatory inspection.

In some cases, the caller knows the victim’s address, the news release states.

If the victim agrees to a meeting, the scammer will demand money up front for repair work, or even try to lure the homeowner into leaving their home while a second or third suspect sneaks inside to search for cash and valu-

ables, according to the news release. Elderly people are often targeted because of their trusting nature and because they often keep cash in their homes, police said.

DeKalb police remind residents that all local businesses are required to register with the city, and a background check is required for any employees conducting soliciting, according to the news release.

Anyone who has fallen victim to a scam should call DeKalb police at 815-748-8400.

WIU football player to be bone marrow donor

Budget cuts to affect students, health center The ASSOCIATED PRESS SPRINGFIELD – A bipartisan deal to cut $300 million in spending in Illinois is set to affect college students, as well as Chicago residents with sickle cell anemia.

The Chicago Tribune reports the deal reached weeks ago by Gov. Bruce Rauner and lawmakers calls for a 2.25 percent spending cut across much of state government.

But with the cuts meant to help close a $1.6 billion hole in the current budget, they could be felt unevenly.

As many as 3,000 college students will miss out on grants this school year.

The Illinois Student Assistance Commission has had $8.4 million cut from its budget, although program spokeswoman Lynne Baker said grants were withheld pre-emptively and students won’t have to pay back anything.

Grants through the commission average $3,500 for students at public schools and $3,900 for those at private institutions.

Families of students make about $30,000 for those considered dependents.

“During the gubernatorial transition, we were unsure at the beginning about whether we would need to hold back our funds, so we were very conservative in our forecasting,” Baker said.

A $500,000 cut in funding looms for a Chicago sickle cell center at the University of Illinois Hospital & Health

“Patients with sickle cell disease require pain medication intravenously. We have a dedicated care center to treat these episodes. If funding is removed, it will be very hard for us to continue those services.”

Last year, the emergency pain center treated 820 people with the rare disorder, which the center’s Dr. Victor Gordeuk said is mainly diagnosed in African-Americans.

“Patients with sickle cell disease require pain medication intravenously,” Gordeuk said. “We have a dedicated care center to treat these episodes. If funding is removed, it will be very hard for us to continue those services.”

Rauner spokeswoman Catherine Kelly said reductions are part of the “bipartisan legislative solution” to fill the hole in the current budget.

Other cuts include $419,300 from a state Department of Human Services domestic violence shelter program and $225,900 from an agency program for expectant parents.

SPRINGFIELD – An independent review of the Illinois state treasurer’s office released Monday found problems with internship hiring that favored those with political connections and other programs in need of overhaul.

Democrat Mike Frerichs, having reached the symbolic benchmark 100 days in office, released the results of the audit he promised after becoming the state’s chief investment officer in January. He said he will closely review the report’s recommendations and emphasized initiatives on which he has embarked.

“This report outlines our efforts with education, access and opportunity to help all Illinoisans,” Frerichs told a state Capitol news conference. “In these first 100 days, we’ve made progress on important items that families

across our state brought to our attention last year.”

Accounting firm Plante Moran’s review, offered to the state without charge, found trouble spots in an office still reeling from sexual harassment allegations against previous Republican Treasurer Dan Rutherford by an ex-employee.

The report highlighted a paid internship program that gave positions to young people with connections to influential politicians, campaign donors and lobbyists.

The “clout-heavy” program had no formal procedures for how the interns were recruited or managed, the audit said.

The Chicago Sun-Times reported last summer that Rutherford solicited recommendations from Chicago aldermen and legislators and himself recommended a member of the wealth Pritzker family a year after a relative donated $50,000 to Rutherford’s campaign.

Madigan continues push for campus sex assault protection

By ALAN SCHER ZAGIER The Associated Press EDWARDSVILLE – Victims campus sex assaults in Illinois would have confidential university advisers to help guide them through the legal d medical systems under a legislative proposal that has passed the state House.

Attorney General Lisa Madigan spoke Monday in suprt of The Preventing Sexual Violence in Higher Education Act at a conference on sex assault prevention at Southern Illinois University Edwardsville. She said the victim advocates could also be university employees, or work for outside organizations such as rape crisis centers, but their allegiancwould be to the individual, not the institution.

“You want to make sure that the person who comes forward has somebody they can rely on,” said Madigan, who

has held similar campus summits in Chicago and Normal.

“It has to be somebody who is responsive to that victim as opposed to responsive to the university.”

The federal law dealing with gender discrimination in education, known as Title IX, already requires colleges and universities to follow certain guidelines for reporting and Lisa investigat Madigan ing possible sex assaults.

Colleges and universities are also required to report campus crimes to the federal government under a 1990 law known as the Clery Act. But Madigan called those standards “scattered” and “ineffective” while she advocated for additional state pro-

tections. Nearly 100 campuses nationwide face Title IX investigations, according to the federal government and media reports, including the University of Chicago and Knox College in Galesburg.

The proposed bill, which passed the House 113-2 and is now under consideration in the state Senate, also would require Illinois colleges and universities to bolster existing efforts by adopting “comprehensive policies concerning sexual violence, domestic violence, dating violence and stalking.” Schools also would need to enhance employee training and student awareness and provide additional resources to sex assault victims, including making it easier for them to change class schedules or housing assignments to minimize further exposure to their assailants.

Last week, Vice President Joe Biden spoke about campus

sex assault prevention at the University of Illinois, imploring male students in particular to “Show courage. Be the man you were raised to be.” According to a 2014 report from the U.S. Justice Department, only about 20 percent of campus sexual assaults are reported.

Rape survivor Julia Dixon described being attacked in her University of Akron dormitory during her first week of school to an Edwardsville audience of university officials, police, prosecutors and mental health counselors. While she eventually graduated and saw her attacker plead guilty in court, she also endured hair and weight loss, plummeting grades that led to the loss of a scholarship and insensitive university officials who challenged her account of the crime, she said.

“When I was asleep, I didn’t have to think about anything,” she said. “That was the only

MACOMB – A Western Illinois University linebacker soon will give an infant suffering from a rare immune disorder a precious gift in the game of life – a bone marrow transplant.

School officials said Sophomore Jordan Veloz, 20, signed up last year during a bone marrow registry drive on campus. The “Get in the Game” drive, a national initiative that was started in 2008

by Villanova Coach Andrew Talley, is designed to build the National Bone Marrow Donor Registry.

The player was informed last month he might be a match. It was confirmed this month he is a match.

“It hasn’t really hit me yet, but I feel like I am just doing what I should do,” Veloz said.

“But there are times I stop and think ‘Wow, it is all in my hands.’ ” Veloz said he hopes when people hear about his donation they will feel inspired to go out to get registered. He said that registering takes just about 15 to 20 minutes, followed by swabs taken from the donor’s mouth. The DNA goes into the national bone marrow registry.

“You never know when you or someone you know will need help, and if you get a chance to help someone else, why wouldn’t you?” Veloz said.

“It hasn’t really hit me yet, but I feel like I am just doing what I should do.”

Jordan Veloz Western Illinois linebacker

The president and co-founder of Western Illinois’ Be the Match chapter president Grant Severs, said a patient’s likelihood of finding a matching donor on the organization’s registry is estimated to range from 66 to 93 percent.

He added that each year, more than 12,000 patients are diagnosed with a life-threatening disease, such as leukemia, whose best hope for a cure is a marrow transplant.

“A child will have a second chance because JJ joined and said ‘yes’ when he was called upon,” said Amy Brousseau, community engagement representative for Be the Match.

“My heart is sincerely full.”

Veloz said he doesn’t know the infant or the family. He hopes that in a few years he’ll be able to meet the child who benefits from the transplant.

Even although he won’t meet the child and the family immediately , he hopes to be kept apprised of the child’s condition.

Veloz, a sophomore exercise science major from Oak Creek, Wisconsin, will make the donation this summer.

Prosecutor tells of gunman’s path to carnage

By SADIE GURMAN The Associated Press

AP photo

People wait in line Monday, some for three days, for a seat in today’s gay marriage hearing at the Supreme Court in Washington.

Supreme Court hears gay marriage cases today

By MARK SHERMAN The Associated Press WASHINGTON – Today is a potential watershed moment for America’s gay and lesbian couples. After rapid changes that have made same-sex marriage legal in all but 14 states, the Supreme Court will hear arguments over whether it should be the law of the land.

All eyes will be on the justices for any signals that they are prepared to rule that the Constitution forbids states from defining marriage as the union of a man and a woman.

On the sidewalk outside, people have been waiting in line since Friday for prized seats for the historic arguments.

The cases before the court come from Kentucky, Michigan, Ohio and Tennessee, all of which had their marriage bans upheld by the federal appeals court in Cincinnati in November. That is the only federal appeals court that has ruled in favor of the states since the Supreme Court in 2013 struck down part of the federal anti-gay marriage law.

The first state to allow gay and lesbian couples to marry was Massachusetts, in 2004.

Even as recently as October, barely a third of the states permitted it. Now, same-sex couples can marry in 36 states and the District of Columbia, a dramatic change in the law that has been accompanied by an equally fast shift in public opinion.

Now that everyone else has weighed in through mountains of legal briefs, the justices get to say, or at least hint, what they will decide. Today, five lawyers will present arguments over 2½ hours to help the court conclude whether, on this question, the 14 remaining states must join the rest of the country.

The main thrust of the states’ case is to reframe the debate.

“This case is not about the best marriage definition. It is about the fundamental question regarding how our democracy resolves such debates about social policy: Who decides, the people of each state or the federal judiciary?” John Bursch, representing Michigan, wrote in his main brief to the court.

NATION BRIEF Loretta Lynch sworn in as new U.S. attorney general WASHINGTON – Loretta Lynch was sworn in Monday as the 83rd U.S. attorney general, the first African-American woman to serve as the nation’s top law enforcement official.

Speaking before an audience of family members, Justice Department lawyers and supporters, Lynch said her confirmation as attorney general showed that “we can do anything” and pledged that the agency would “use justice as our compass” in confronting terrorism, cyberattacks and other threats facing the country.

Lynch met with President Barack Obama at the White House on Monday afternoon.

Other arguments by the states and more than five dozen briefs by their defenders warn the justices of harms that could result “if you remove the man-woman definition and replace it with the genderless any-two-persons definition,” said Gene Schaerr, a Washington lawyer.

The push for same-sex marriage comes down to fairness, said Mary Bonauto, who will argue on behalf of the plaintiffs. The people who have brought their cases to the Supreme Court are “real people who are deeply committed to each other. Yet they are foreclosed from making that commitment simply because of who they are,” she told reporters last week.

Arguments made by Bonauto, other lawyers for same-sex couples and more than six dozen supporting briefs have strong echoes of the 1967 Loving v. Virginia case, in which the Supreme Court struck down state bans on interracial marriage. In that case, the justices were unanimous that those bans violated the constitutional rights of interracial couples.

No one expects unanimity this time. But many believe the justices will take the final step toward what gay rights supporters call marriage equality, in part because they allowed orders in favor of same-sex couples to take effect even as the issue made its way through the federal court system.

That was action through inaction, as other judges played a major role over the years. Only 11 states have granted marriage rights to same-sex couples through the ballot or the legislature. Court rulings are responsible for all the others.

Forty-three years ago, the Supreme Court swept away the appeal of two men who wanted to marry in Minnesota in just one sentence: The court dismissed the case of Baker v. Nelson because the justices concluded there was no “substantial federal question” to decide in 1972.

“That did not work out well because the country was not ready to see us in the way it sees us now,” said James Esseks, leader of the American Civil Liberties Union’s gay rights effort.

CENTENNIAL, Colo. – A prosecutor declared Monday that two psychiatric exams found Colorado theater gunman James Holmes to be sane as he meticulously plotted a mass murder, considering a bomb or biological warfare before settling on a shooting so that he could slaughter more people.

“Boom!” District Attorney George Brauchler said as he showed pictures of the victims and the weapons Holmes used to kill them on a TV screen.

“Boom!” he repeated, describing in detail how bullets pierced organs and destroyed limbs.

Holmes’ public defender, Daniel King, countered that 20

doctors who examined him in custody as well as the therapist who saw him before the shootings all agree he suffers from schizophrenia, a psychotic brain disease that skewed his thoughts and compelled him to kill.

“He was a good kid” who had no record of ever harming anyone before he had a psychotic delusion that compelled him to murder 12 people and wound 70 at a midnight “The Dark Knight Rises” premiere nearly three years ago, King said.

Holmes has pleaded not guilty by reason of insanity.

His defense hopes jurors will agree and have him committed to an institution as criminally insane for the rest of his life.

“Mental illness can sure sound like an excuse, but in

this case, it’s not,” King said.

“There will be no doubt in your minds that by the end of this trial, Mr. Holmes is severely mentally ill.”

Under Colorado law, Brauchler must prove Holmes was sane so that he will instead be executed or spend the rest of his life in prison.

“Through this door is horror. Through this door are bullets, blood, brains and bodies.

Through this door, one guy who thought as if he had lost his career, lost his love life, lost his purpose, came to execute a plan,” said Brauchler, standing before a scale model of the theater.

“Four-hundred people came into a boxlike theater to be entertained, and one person came to slaughter them,” the prosecutor said.

Many more people would have died, but a magazine on his AR-15 assault rifle jammed, leaving 218 bullets unfired, Brauchler said.

Jurors must eventually decide whether he was unable to know right from wrong because of a mental illness or defect when he slipped into the theater, unleashed tear gas and tried to empty his weapons on the crowd. He’s charged with 166 counts of first-degree murder, attempted murder and an explosives offense for the mayhem he caused July 20, 2012.

It remains one of America’s deadliest shootings, and that Holmes was the lone gunman has never been in doubt. He was arrested at the scene, along with an arsenal of weapons on his body and in his car.

BOSTON – Boston Marathon bomber Dzhokhar Tsarnaev’s lawyers pleaded with a jury Monday to spare his life, portraying him as “a good kid” who was led down the path to terrorism by his increasingly fanatical older brother.

David Bruck delivered the defense’s opening statement in the penalty phase of Tsarnaev’s trial, saying there is no punishment Tsarnaev can get that would be equal to the suffering of the bombing victims.

“There is no evening the scales,” Bruck said. “There is no point in trying to hurt him as he hurt because it can’t be done.”

Tsarnaev, 21, was convicted earlier this month in the twin bombings that killed three spectators Dzhokhar and wounded Tsarnaev more than 260 other people near the marathon’s finish line on April 15, 2013. He was also found guilty of killing an MIT police officer during the Tsarnaev brothers’ getaway attempt.

This stage of the trial will determine whether he is executed, as prosecutors are demanding, or spends the rest of his life behind bars, the sentence Bruck urged the jury to impose.

“His legal case will be over for good, and no martyrdom, just years and years of punishment,” the lawyer said.

“All the while, society is protected.”

Bruck focused heavily on Tsarnaev’s now-dead older brother, Tamerlan, depicting him as a volatile figure who led the plot.

He said Tamerlan was “consumed by jihad” and had “power” over an admiring Dzhokhar.

Bruck said Tamerlan was loud and aggressive, got into fights, failed at everything he did and never held a steady job, while Dzhokhar was a good student in high school, was loved by his teachers there, had many friends and never got in trouble.

“He was a good kid,” the lawyer said. But he said Dzhokhar started going downhill in college, when his parents divorced and returned to Russia, and he was left with Tamerlan as the de facto head of the family.

Bruck said the bombing would not have taken place if Tamerlan hadn’t led the way.

Tamerlan went to Russia for six months in 2012 hoping to join jihadi fighters and returned to the U.S. even more radicalized, Bruck said. He said Russian relatives will describe how “fanatical” he seemed during that visit.

Bruck said Dzhokhar grew up amid turmoil and instability.

He was born in the former Soviet republic of Kyrgyzstan, then moved from place to place with his parents and siblings before settling in the U.S. in 2002 when he was 8, the attorney said.

Bruck showed the jury photos of the Supermax prison in Colorado, where Tsarnaev would probably serve his sentence if he were given life instead of the death penalty.

Tsarnaev’s existence there would be austere, with most of his time spent in solitary confinement and his communication with the outside world severely restricted, Bruck said.

Tsarnaev was a 19-year-old college student at the time of the bombing. His brother, 26, was killed days after the attack when he was shot by police and run over by Dzhokhar during a chaotic getaway attempt.

• GRADUATION Continued from page A1 “Many students and their families come out to celebrate.”

That means the restaurant stocks up on steak and shrimp, Wilson said.

In Sycamore, Taxco Restaurant Too proprietor Jesus Romero said NIU’s commencement usually means extra business for his downtown

establishment. But he said the restaurant’s biggest day of the year comes days earlier, on Cinco de Mayo.

Many businesses near campus see a big boost to their bottom line.

At Fatty’s Pub and Grille, the celebratory mood often translates into a 20 percent increase in overall business, owner Jeff Dobie said.

Many students are eager to show their family where they

spent their free time. Dobie advised those graduating to secure reservations before showing up with a large group.

“Basically, it’s one of our busiest weekends of the year,” he said. “Our location helps ... but I’m sure there are some parents who get the credit card bills and want to know what Fatty’s is.”

NIU’s law school graduation May 23 brings in another bump in business, Dobie said.

Dickson says state is reviewing grants • TRANSPORTATION Continued from page A1 residents to be able to get to and from a variety of community facilities and resources,” Zucker told the City Council on Monday. “These services provide a dependable, affordable and accessible means for residents to get to work, school, medical appointments, for shopping and many other destinations that support essential activities of daily living.”

In 2010, a consulting firm recommended construction of an 83,000-square-foot facility, according to city and county documents. In 2012, the county designated a 9- to 14-acre county-owned parcel to be used for the new transportation facility, which would include a park-and-ride facility with 104 parking spaces that would connect commuters to the Metra station in Elburn.

The state approved $3 million in grant funding for the project in 2012, but the money was never obligated, said Brian Dickson, transportation planner for the city of DeKalb.

Dickson said the state is in the process of reviewing the grants, but isn’t considering those that haven’t progressed.

“We want to move forward quickly so that our grants are not lost.”

Brian Dickson DeKalb city transportation planner

Monday’s vote moved the plans ahead to keep the project eligible for state funding consideration.

“We want to move forward quickly so that our grants are not lost,” he told the City Council.

Second Ward Alderman Bill Finucane, a former Voluntary Action Center board member, said he was aware of the need for a new transportation facility. “[Voluntary Action Center] has outgrown the transit portion of that facility by leaps and bounds,” Finucane said. “They’re forced to store buses outside, even in the coldest weather, and that makes it very hard on their equipment and personnel.”

He also emphasized that the project would be paid for using state and federal funds.

The City Council voted 6-0 to approve submission of the

grant application. Aldermen David Jacobson, 1st Ward, and Monica O’Leary, 7th Ward, didn’t attend the meeting.

Afterward, Dickson said he was “encouraged” about the city’s and county’s prospects for securing state grant funds. He said there wasn’t an immediate timeline for the state to make a decision on the applications.

Even if the most recent state and federal grant requests are turned down, Zucker said his organization would continue to push for nonmuncipal funding.

“We believe that it is the role of the federal and state government to provide infrastructure for transit and we believe that we can successfully complete this project with those funds,” he told the City Council. “These grants will provide an opportunity for the city of DeKalb, DeKalb County, [Voluntary Action Center] and others to collaborate on a project that will significantly enhance and improve public and community transportation services that will benefit residents of DeKalb County including city of DeKalb residents and [Northern Illinois University] students.”

SHOP

store, does six to eight times as much business because of the confluence of NIU’s graduation, Mother’s Day and local proms, owner Oscar Hansen said.

Hansen brings in additional employees and lots of fresh flowers right before the weekend.

“It’s one last big bang before summer,” Hansen said. “After graduation, it’s mostly town business.”

Gray’s family shocked, hope to organize peaceful march • BALTIMORE Continued from page A1 littered the streets, and other small fires were scattered about. One person from a church tried to shout something from a megaphone as two cars burned.

“Too many people have spent generations building up this city for it to be destroyed by thugs, who in a very senseless way, are trying to tear down what so many have fought for, tearing down businesses, tearing down and destroying property, things that we know will impact our community for years,” said Mayor Stephanie Rawlings-Blake, a lifelong resident of the city.

Gray’s family was shocked by the violence and was lying low; instead, they hoped to organize a peace march later in the week, said family attorney Billy Murphy. He said they did not know the riot was going to happen and urged calm.

“They don’t want this movement nationally to be marred by violence,” he said.

“It makes no sense.”

Police urged parents to locate their children and bring them home. Many of those on

the streets appeared to be African-American youths, wearing backpacks and khaki pants that are a part of many public school uniforms.

The riot broke out just as high school let out, and at a key city bus depot for student commuters around Mondawmin Mall, a shopping area northwest of downtown Baltimore. It shifted about a mile away later to the heart of an older shopping district and near where Gray first encountered police. Both commercial areas are in African-American neighborhoods.

Later in the day, people began looting clothing and other items from stores at the mall, which became unprotected as police moved away from the area. About three dozen officers returned, trying to arrest looters but driving many away by firing pellet guns and rubber bullets.

Downtown Baltimore, the Inner Harbor tourist attractions and the city’s baseball and football stadiums are nearly 4 miles away. While the violence had not yet reached City Hall and the Camden Yards area, the Orioles canceled Monday’s game for safety precautions.

New shop in Sycamore is ‘totally unique’

By DARIA SOKOLOVA dsokolova@shawmedia.com SYCAMORE – Lisa Wakefield says she wants to make as many people happy as she can.

Wakefield opened a shop called Me Unique, 437 W. State St. in Sycamore, on April 20.

She describes the business as a one-stop party, gift, wedding shop that offers an array of services from custom gift baskets to all-inclusive princess parties, wedding dress rentals and event and wedding packages.

“I’ve already got bookings for parties in the private party room,” said Wakefield, who has been involved in wedding and event design for 15 years.

“I’ve already sold a basket and I had people calling me before the business even opened, so it’s my passion in life, it’s everything I love to do. I love my job. I don’t want to leave every day; I wish I could stay longer.”

Wakefield previously owned a flower shop in Plano, but has always been passionate about design. With the opening

of her store in downtown Sycamore, she said the biggest part for her is reaching the community and supporting it.

Tim Aurand of Sycamore has been named the first ever James E. Thompson Professor of Marketing in the Northern Illinois University College of Business.

“This is truly an honor. I’m grateful to Mr. Thompson for having confidence and faith in my discipline,” Aurand, an award-winning teacher and Tim Aurand researcher who specializes in branding and the automotive industry, said in a news release. “This professorship will allow me to devote more time to my research, as well as help junior faculty with their scholarly pursuits and to bring those research results into the classroom.”

The professorship was created by James Thompson, a 1967 graduate of the marketing program at NIU and longtime supporter of the college.

During his career, Thompson served as executive vice president and managing director of the Leo Burnett Company.

“The NIU College of Business was a pivotal experience for me back in the 1960s. It was a time, and a place, where I found my focus – and that was helped immeasurably by the content and teaching in the Department of Marketing and, especially, two men – Professor James Tushaus and Professor L. George Smith,” Thompson said in the release. “Those fellows are long gone and probably little remembered. But they are remembered by me. Their influence was palpable. It’s their kind of teaching and mentorship that I wanted to sup-

Iowa egg industry hit hard by illness

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR Preserve after-school programs such as Teen REACH To the Editor: The DeKalb County Youth Service Bureau runs an excellent after-school program at Sycamore High School called Teen REACH. As a former board member of the Youth Service Bureau, I know that this program has a profound impact on youth and families in our community. As DeKalb County State’s Attorney, I also know this program is an important part of building public safety.

The after-school hours are known as the “prime time for juvenile crime.” A survey of police departments in Illinois a few years back found that juvenile crime jumps up by as much as 2∏ times after the school bell rings and before parents get home from work.

Making sure youth have supervised, safe and productive places to go during those critical hours is a serious concern to those of us who fight crime every day.

In fact, law enforcement leaders were among the original advocates for Teen REACH when the program was created almost two decades ago. Unfortunately, a few weeks ago, all state funding for Teen REACH was suspended and the proposal on the table for next year’s budget would eliminate Teen REACH completely.

I recently joined with dozens of my law enforcement colleagues from around the state to urge Gov. Bruce Rauner and the legislative leaders to reconsider this decision. Teen REACH is an effective program with excellent outcomes among participants, including better school attendance, improved academic performance

There was virtually no discussion of the lives of people who live in University Village during the deliberations. Rather, Security Properties was asked if they could reduce the number of units during Richard H. Schmack the renovation.

How bad is Iowa’s egg industry crisis?

Mexico this week halted imports of Iowa eggs because of safety concerns.

The place that advises tourists not to drink tap water has banned Iowa eggs for health reasons.

Mexico is the largest importer of U.S. chickens and enacted the ban after a turkey production plant in Iowa’s Buena Vista County reported avian flu and destroyed 27,000 turkeys.

Then an egg production plant in the state’s Osceola County reported the flu and destroyed 5.7 million hens.

The rest of Iowa’s egg producers are stepping up precautions to stop this infection that doesn’t hurt humans, but can devastate commercial flocks in days.

All this follows criminal convictions and prison sentences for Iowa’s largest egg producers. Austin “Jack” DeCoster and his son Peter, 51, were accused of altering records to sell eggs that caused a widespread salmonella outbreak in 2010. Their deliberate deceit caused 1,939 confirmed infections of humans.

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention estimated the DeCosters could have sickened up to 56,000 others. The DeCosters’ actions led to the largest egg recall in U.S. history.

A federal judge in Sioux City this month issued three-month prison terms and fined both DeCosters $100,000 each.

Their company, Quality Egg, was fined $6.79 million after pleading guilty to bribing a federal inspector and other charges.

The penalties came after a 2010 salmonella outbreak at the DeCosters’ Maryland and Maine operations.

That prompted former Iowa Gov. Chet Culver to initiate specific Iowa inspection reforms to keep the DeCosters and other lousy operators from ruining the Iowa egg business.

Gov. Terry Branstad scrapped all of those reforms, allowing Iowa egg producers to avoid mandatory reporting of suspected salmonella, and halting creation of lab testing standards and training standards that might have stopped the DeCosters before they sickened thousands.

Preventing this month’s avian flu outbreak is beyond the influence of this governor, or the last. But clearly, this important ag industry will need state help to recover.

Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker this week deployed a small unit of National Guard soldiers to assist in the destruction of birds and cleanup in three counties.

Now Iowa needs to take action.

The nation’s No. 1 egg producer is under siege from preventable disease and an infamously unscrupulous operator whose crimes escaped regulatory detection until it was too late.

Neither must happen again.

Dems’ abortion platform out of step with public Are sugar, carbs really It was sort of inevitable that on his first day of campaigning as an announced candidate for president earlier this month, Rand Paul would be asked whether he supported a ban on abortions in cases of rape or incest.

Reporters have been asking Republican candidates that question ever since 2012, when the Missouri Republican Senate candidate, Todd Akin, said he supported such a ban and added that pregnancies were unlikely in cases of “legitimate rape.”

But Paul’s reply wasn’t what the reporter expected. “Why don’t we ask the [Democratic National Committee] is it OK to kill a 7-pound baby in the uterus? You go back and go ask [DNC Chairwoman] Debbie Wasserman Schultz if she’s OK with killing a seven-pound baby that’s just not born yet.

“Ask her when life begins, and ask Debbie when she’s willing to protect life. When you get an answer from Debbie, come back to me.”

Reporters didn’t have to ask Wasserman Schultz, who quickly tweeted in reply, “I support letting women and their doctors make this decision without government getting involved. Period. End of story.” In other words, any abortion before birth is OK. That’s consistent with the platform adopted at the 2012 Democratic National Convention.

It also is a position, like Akin’s, not supported by a large majority of the American people. Large majorities oppose re-criminalizing all abortions. But large majorities also support limits on abortion, including banning them after 20 weeks (when about one-quarter of babies can survive) or 24 weeks (when half or more can).

The Democratic National chairman and the Democratic national platform say that abortions are permissible beyond that

VIEWS Michael Barone time. If reporters can ask Republicans all over the country whether they share the view of a past Republican Missouri Senate nominee, shouldn’t they be able to ask Democrats all over the country whether they share the view of the national Democratic Party’s chairman and platform?

It’s not big news when a party’s Senate nominee in one state disagrees with the party’s Senate nominee in another. That happens fairly often. It’s bigger news – not earthshaking news, but bigger news – when a party’s Senate nominee disagrees with the party’s national leaders.

So Rand Paul was on solid ground when he refused to answer the rape-and-incest question until reporters started asking Democrats the 7-pound-baby question.

Including, certainly, the likely Democratic presidential nominee, Hillary Clinton. Which conscientious reporters will do if they consider it more important to do their jobs fairly than to help the candidates they like or the causes they support.

“Abortion should remain legal, but it needs to be safe and rare,” Clinton said on the 2008 campaign trail. She has also claimed that the decision to have an abortion is “one in which the government should have no role.”

As a senator, she voted against the partial-birth abortion ban and against a bill to make it a crime to harm a fetus in the course of committing a violent crime.

During her 2000 Senate campaign she said, “I can support a ban on late-term abor-

tions, including partial-birth abortions, so long as the health and life of the mother is protected.”

But as those who follow the issue know, “health of the mother” is a loophole that devours the law. The courts have interpreted “health” to include emotional health, and it seems reasonable to assume that most women with unwanted pregnancies are suffering some emotional distress.

Most Americans think they should be able to abort the baby at early stages in the pregnancy, but not at late stages.

So let the reporters who ask Hillary Clinton and other Democrats their views on late-term abortions keep in mind, for use in follow-up questions, that the “health” exception means abortion at every stage is permitted.

It has become a standard rule in political analysis that cultural issues help Democrats, particularly with young voters.

That’s true of same-sex marriage, which only a few voters supported 20 years ago but which has majority support today and supermajorities among Millennials.

But opinion on abortion has changed little over the years. Millennials, many of whom have seen sonograms of siblings, are if anything a bit more negative on abortion than their elders.

On this issue, many Democrats are out of step with public opinion. Rand Paul is right that reporters who avoid questioning them about that are remiss in their journalistic duty.

worse than smoking?

“I want that red velvet I want that sugar sweet Don’t let nobody touch it Unless that somebody’s me” It’s a catchy tune on the radio, but if Maroon 5’s weakness was really about sucrose, they’d be setting themselves for a whole range of illnesses.

In fact, according to the British Journal of Sports Medicine, the sugar and carbohydrates that are staples of the modern diet are doing us more harm than physical inactivity, alcohol and smoking combined.

And don’t think that you can run off that sugary soda or powder sugar-coated pastry with a few minutes of exercise. New research suggests that athletes would be better off adopting a high fat, low-carb diet rather than loading up on carbs before intense exercise.

Evidence suggests that up to 40 percent of the people within a normal body mass index range will have metabolic abnormalities similar to those with obesity, because of sugar and carbohydrates in the diet.

Diabetes risk increases 11 times for every 150 additional sugar calories consumed daily, compared to an equivalent amount of calories consumed as fat.

The publication called for an overhaul of food industry tactics, which it described as “chillingly similar to those of Big Tobacco,” deploying denial, doubt, confusion and “bent scientists” to convince the public that smoking was not linked to lung cancer.

It also called for an end to celebrity endorsements of sugary drinks and the association of junk food with sports, and said health clubs and gyms should remove those types of products from their premises.

Public health messaging should stop focusing on maintaining a healthy weight, and concentrate more on the source of calories, the publication contends, saying sugar calories promote fat storage and hunger, while fat calories induce fullness or satiation.

We’ve watched public opinion swing from low fat to low carb to gluten-free and back, but in the end, we’re responsible for maintaining a healthy diet and adequate exercise for ourselves and our families.

Public policy, however, should make it as easy and economical as possible for us to consume as much fresh produce and unprocessed foods as possible.

Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances.

Knights blank Foxes in series opener AP photo

White Sox’s game in Baltimore postponed BALTIMORE – As rioting and violence escalated in nearby city streets, Major League Baseball called off the White Sox vs. Orioles game Monday at Camden Yards.

Sox players, unsure if they would be back for tonight’s game – or Wednesday’s for that matter – quickly left for their hotel, which is a short walk from the ballpark.

“We’re going to run, I think,” center fielder Adam Eaton said as teammates filed out of the visitors clubhouse about 30 minutes before the game was scheduled to begin.

Outside, there were no signs of violence close to the park, but police had blocked several streets around the park, and there were outbreaks within blocks and indications of escalation. Citing safety concerns, media were told by the Orioles to leave the park as quickly as possible.

The governor of Maryland declared a state of emergency and called in the National Guard to restore order.

“We feel like we made the decision that would provide us the greatest possible security in terms of protecting the fans, the players, the umpires, everybody involved in the game,” MLB commissioner Rob Manfred said. “I don’t know what more I can say about it at this point.”

Players and staff, preparing for the game, watched on clubhouse TV sets before taking the field for warmups and batting practice. The Orioles did the same in their clubhouse.

Manfred, at the park on a scheduled visit with both teams, was uncertain about the status of tonight’s game.

The series continues through Wednesday night, and the first-year commissioner didn’t rule out the games being played at Nationals Park in Washington D.C., about an hour away.

“I could not tell you the probability of that happening,” Sox general manager Rick Hahn said. “I do know everything is on the table to postponing to later in the season to perhaps changing venues or start times. Whatever. We’re flexible. We’re here. When they feel it’s safe and prudent and the right [time] to [play] a baseball game, we’re here and ready to play.”

As Sox manager Robin Ventura met with reporters in the visitors dugout, a helicopter hovered overhead. Sirens could be heard. At that time, the game still was on, but tension was in the air, even in the safe confines of a baseball park.

Matchup likely to have serious implications in NI Big 12 East race

By JESSE SEVERSON jseverson@shawmedia.com MAPLE PARK – Kaneland baseball coach Brian Aversa said the Knights had this week’s series against Yorkville circled on the schedule.

The Knights came up with two clutch hits and their pitching and defense kept the Foxes’ offense in check for a 2-0 win Monday in the opener of a series that could have major

implications on which team wins the Northern Illinois Big 12 East title.

“It felt like a playoff game,” said Kaneland shortstop Joe Panico, who made several key defensive plays along with second baseman Austin Wheatley. “Even when you wake up in the morning, you know you have to win this series.”

The Knights (11-7, 6-1 NI Big 12 East) picked up both their runs in the bottom of the

fifth inning. Panico hit an RBI single before Joe Laudont followed with an RBI double to left field. “[Panico] got that line drive for a run we really needed, and then [Laudont] has just been smoking the ball right now,” Aversa said. “Those Joe Panico guys are guys we have to jump on their back and ride them for a bit.”

Laudont, who went 3 for 3, was the only player in the game with more than one hit.

Kaneland senior starting pitcher Matt O’Sullivan was strong against the Foxes, who have won the conference championship the past two seasons. The left-hander earned the win, allowing three hits in 6⅔ innings with seven strikeouts and three walks.

Yorkville senior Nick Sewruk pitched six innings, allowing seven hits and striking out two.

Whenever the Foxes (165, 3-1) had any opportunities against O’Sullivan, the Kaneland defense came up with big plays to keep them off the scoreboard.

With runners on first and third and one out in the top of the third, the Yorkville runner on fist stole second, and when Laudont threw it to Panico at short, Panico gunned it back to the catcher to nab Max Warren at the plate.

“We for sure got him,” Laudont said. “I made sure to get my body in front of it and make it difficult for him to get into home but left enough room like the rules say. Joe made a perfect throw and I was able to block the plate in time.”

Barbs losing their grip Hopes for a NI Big 12 East title in a tailspin after 0-4 start in league play

By EDDIE CARIFIO ecarifio@shawmedia.com DeKALB – After a 10-2 start to the year, the DeKalb baseball team had high hopes heading into Northern Illinois Big 12 Conference play.

After a 12-2, five-inning home loss Monday to Morris, the Barbs fell to 0-4 in conference play and coach Justin Keck said it’s time for the team to figure out exactly what’s going wrong.

“I think it’s time for a little introspection about who we are as a team,” Keck said. “Who are we as players? Who are we as coaches?

Who are we as a team? And what is it that we want? Are we so worried about the end we’re forgetting about what’s in front of us? That’s why the present is the present and the future is what it is. You can’t predict that. You can only live for the day and play for the game. And if we’re not playing the game for the love of it, then what are we doing out here?”

Morris (10-10-1, 2-5 NI Big 12 East) had 12 runs and 14 hits before the Barbs (13-9, 0-4) got their first baserunner of the game in the bottom of the fourth – an infield single

the only DeKalb runs of the game.

“Obviously, we didn’t pitch very well and I don’t think we hit the ball very well,” Keck said. “You only score two runs over the course of five innings, you’re not going to win very many ball games. And you continue to walk people and not have confidence in yourself, that’s not a recipe for success.”

Morris scored four in the second, then got five straight hits off starter Zach Moan to start the third, chasing him. The next two Morris batters reached, as well, as the lead expanded to 11-0 after three.

SPORTS BRIEFS NIU’s Zubek named MAC West Player of the Week After a strong series against Eastern Michigan, Northern Illinois junior Johnny Zubek was named the Mid-American Conference West Player of the Week.

During the week, Zubek hit two home runs, scored seven runs and had a batting average of .467 as the Huskies won the series against the Eagles and narrowly lost to Iowa, which is ranked in the top 25.

It is the first time Zubek has won the award and he becomes the second Huskie to win it this season – Brad Wood was named the player of the week March 11.

Cubs recall Lake, option Schlitter CHICAGO – The Cubs recalled outfielder Junior Lake from Triple-A Iowa before their game Monday against the Pittsburgh Pirates.

Lake, 25, played parts of the past two seasons with the Cubs and batted .243. At Triple-A Iowa this season, Lake was hitting .289 with two doubles and eight RBI in 13 games.

To make room for Lake, the Cubs optioned struggling RHP Brian Schlitter to Iowa. Schlitter is 0-2 with a 9.53 ERA in seven appearances.

With the move, the Cubs are down to 12 pitchers.

Fan injured by flying bat at Pirates-Cubs game CHICAGO – A fan was hit by a flying bat at Wrigley Field during the game between Pittsburgh and the Cubs on Monday night and carried from the stands on a stretcher.

There was no immediate report on the fan’s condition.

Cubs rookie Addison Russell, playing his first game at Wrigley Field, lost control of his bat on a swing as he led off the bottom of the seventh inning.

The bat flew into the seats between the Cubs’ dugout on the third-base side and the netting behind home plate.

Cubs owner Tom Ricketts was sitting about five rows below the fan, and asked a team trainer in the dugout for ice and a towel. Ricketts went over to assist the fan while paramedics were called.

Hiawatha rallies to top Harvard

By DAILY CHRONICLE sports@daily-chronicle.com Hosting a much larger Harvard team Monday, the Hiawatha softball team won in walkoff fashion in a 6-5 victory.

The Hawks (3-5) trailed 5-3 in the bottom of the seventh inning, but Hannah Corn hit a two-run double to tie the score, then Lexi Ross hit a walkoff double.

Madison Marshall, who scored the tying run in the bottom of the seventh, picked up the win. She retired the Nos. 3, 4 and 5 hitters in order in the

top of the seventh, striking out two.

Coach David Tamraz said he was impressed with how his Hawks never gave up against the larger Harvard team.

“Afterward, we played a JV game, and their JV team had more than we had on varsity,” he said. “It was incredible that we fought back and never gave up.”

By DAILY CHRONICLE sports@daily-chronicle.com The Northern Illinois men’s basketball team is going to have some size next season.

The Huskies announced 7-foot center Andrew Zelis signed his National Letter of Intent to play in the 2015-16 season.

Zelis, who was a three-star prospect by Rivals.com out of Wheaton North, comes from Kaskaskia College after redshirting a year at Stetson University.

“I’m excited to have a 7-footer, and a player who grew up right here in our backyard, coming back home to be a part of our program,” NIU coach Mark Montgomery said. “Andrew is a big post presence with the capability to step out to 15 feet. He brings added depth to our team on the interior, and his college experience will allow him to hit the ground running and play an important role in our team from Day 1.”

Zelis averaged 4.0 points and 2.4 rebounds in 30 games with Kaskaskia College last season. According to 24/7 Sports, Zelis is the second-ranked junior college center in the class of 2015.

He becomes the sixth signee for the Huskies for the 201516 season – along with Levi Bradley, Jaylen Key, Austin Pauga, Laytwan Porter and Marshawn Wilson.

MLB NATIONAL LEAGUE Danielle Guerra – dguerra@shawmedia.com

DeKalb outfielder Daniel Garcia makes an acrobatic attempt at a catch during Monday’s game against Morris in DeKalb. The Barbs lost, 12-2, in five innings. Garcia dropped the ball.

Keck looks for Barbs to bounce back • BARBS Continued from page B1 Every Morris starter had a hit in the game. After being swept

by Sycamore last week, coach Todd Kein said he liked the way his team bounced back with its 12-run, 14-hit performance.

“I’m happy with the way we swung the bats coming off a tough series against Sycamore,” Kein said. “We got washed out on Saturday, so it’s been a little time since we’ve taken the field. I was anxious to come out here and see how we started the series. And to our kids’ credit, I think they came out the right way with the right mentality. We got aggressive and it paid off for us.”

As for the Barbs, Keck said the team needs to bounce back after dreaming of a conference title after the hot start to the season.

Danielle Guerra – dguerra@shawmedia.com

DeKalb second baseman Jordan Keck catches a shorthopper during Monday’s 12-2, five-inning loss to Morris in DeKalb.

“But if those dreams don’t come to fruition, then what do you do?” Keck asked. “Do you pack up the season or do you continue to play on? I think we have some guys that were more worried about trying to

win a conference title because, obviously, when you start the season, that’s a goal. Then you start 0-4 and you start to doubt yourself. But the bottom line is you have a game tomorrow and you can change this.”

Bock pitches out of jam in 7th inning • KNIGHTS Continued from page B1 On the next play, Panico recovered a groundball that deflected off the glove of third baseman Jacob Bachio and threw it to first baseman Danny Hammerstein to end the inning.

“Defense came up big today, so did pitching,” Laudont said. “[O’Sullivan] pitched a heck of a game. Catching for him was great today because he wasn’t missing any spots.”

In the top of the fifth, Laudont threw out Byron Vanleeve trying to steal third with one out.

The Foxes had one final push in the top of the seventh, loading the bases with a walk and a single off O’Sullivan – which ended his day – and another single off reliever Jordan Bock.

However, Bock came up with a game-ending strikeout against Warren, who was Yorkville’s leadoff hitter.

“Jordan did a nice job of

calming down and resetting and did his job,” Aversa said.

“That was a big out at the end. That’s great for his confidence.”

The Knights play the second game of the series today at Yorkville before returning for the finale Thursday at Kaneland.

“Whoever comes out of this series is likely going to be the one with a target on their back,” Aversa said. “We got some good teams in the conference, so anything can happen.”

Bulls having trouble with ball security • BULLS Continued from page B1 In the other corner, the Cleveland Cavaliers, led by the man that has ended Bulls postseason runs three out of the past five years, LeBron James.

Sure, the Cavs are down a few bodies, with Kevin Love ruled out with a dislocated shoulder and J.R. Smith suspended two games for having trouble keeping his hands to himself, but they still have a four-time MVP and two-time champion to deal with.

A showdown filled with hatred?

“Well, hate can be a great

motivator,” Bulls coach Tom Thibodeau said Monday. “I’ll leave it at that.

“If you’re a competitor and you have a will to win, it’s will and determination. You get out there and get it done. It’s all about your fight.”

That’s what still is on trial for this Bulls team, however.

Life against the Bucks should be getting easier. Although they might have had their full roster for the start of the playoffs, even Thibodeau couldn’t answer if all the missed practices and games made them truly Cavs ready, let alone Milwaukee ready.

“It’s our reality, it’s a work in progress,” Thibodeau said.

“There’s going to be good and bad. I think you have to approach it the same way every day. You know, what are the things you’re doing well? What are the things you need to improve upon? Put everything you have into each and every day, and hopefully we’ll get better.’’

The things they did well on Monday? Well, it once again wasn’t ball security from the point guard. After a 28-turnover game Saturday in Milwaukee as a team, the Bulls were only at 13 Monday, but Derrick Rose was again a leading suspect.

Eight turnovers in Game 4, followed by a six turnover game Monday.

CHARLOTTE, N.C. – Kurt Busch’s win at Richmond International Raceway would only be considered redemption if anyone ever had questioned his driving ability.

But for all the speed bumps and setbacks in his career, Busch’s talent never has suffered.

And not a single competitor ever has suggested that he’s not the ultimate wheelman.

So it was easy Sunday to get caught up in the personal satisfaction Busch showed in winning at Richmond.

NASCAR’s 2004 champion has been fighting for four years to rebuild his career, and the Richmond win was proof once again that Busch always seems to find a way to rebound from all those self-inflicted wounds.

This time it was an allegation of assault by an ex-girlfriend, who accused Busch of being suicidal when she rushed to his side in September in his motorhome at Dover International Speedway in Delaware.

Patricia Driscoll claimed Busch assaulted her that night, and she ultimately asked that he be charged with a crime.

What followed was two months of headline-grabbing drama as Busch fought Driscoll’s request for a no-contact order.

Many of his flaws were exposed over four days of tawdry testimony during NASCAR’s offseason. When it finally was time for Busch to go back to work and seek solace in his race car, a Delaware judge granted Driscoll’s request and ruled Busch likely had assaulted her.

NASCAR moved swiftly in suspending Busch two days before the season-opening Daytona 500, and his time on the sidelines covered the first three races of the year. Busch was reinstated only after the Delaware attorney general declined to press charges and NASCAR said he’d sufficiently completed a program that cleared his return to competition.

that can only be done off the track. Busch himself noted after Sunday’s win that it never was difficult during this latest controversy for him to separate his personal life from his professional life, and that he was “standing on the truth the whole time.

“That gave me the feeling of when I do get back to the car, it’s going to be easy to focus, and I think I’ve shown that,” he said.

Yes, he certainly has. The win showed he is the driver everyone knew he was, and in that post-race celebration, it might also have shown the person he’s trying to become.

“Victory lane is victory lane – I was standing there, the confetti is flying, they gave us the Champagne bottles ... it doesn’t change,” he said. “As I’m older, I can appreciate it more because of the time and effort that it takes to assemble a good group of guys. That’s where I recognize what now I might have took for granted.”

4 ADVICE & PUZZLES • Tuesday, April 28, 2015 • Section B • Daily Chronicle / Daily-Chronicle.com

Husband wants to break the cycle of cheating Dear Abby: I have been married twice. My first marriage lasted 20 years, the second one about four years.

During my first marriage, I started cheating seven months after our wedding. My wife knew about some of the affairs and stuck with me. I finally felt so guilty for hurting her emotionally, I called it quits and married the last woman I cheated on her with.

My second marriage was in many ways better. I was able to remain faithful for more than three years before cheating again. I feel terrible I have hurt another woman I loved, but I have now fallen in love with the woman I’m cheating with.

It’s like I’m in a perpetual

DEAR ABBY Jeanne Phillips cycle and don’t know how to stop. I want this relationship to be my last one. I want to remain faithful and committed, but I’m scared to death I’ll end up cheating on her.

I’m not proud of how I treated my exes, but I can’t change the past. How do I change this pattern of behavior so I can be a faithful and devoted partner?

– Cheater In Michigan Dear Cheater: I respect you for recognizing you have established a pattern and admitting it. The most effective

way to break a “perpetual cycle” would be to understand exactly what has driven it. I don’t think this is something you can or should do on your own. That’s why I recommend you schedule some sessions with a licensed mental health professional before making another trip to the altar.

Dear Abby: Is there a rule of etiquette regarding Christmas presents at this point in the year? I have boxes full of gifts for some friends and their children. These friends live no more than 30 minutes away, but have canceled every plan we have made since the middle of November. They know I have the gifts, and I’ve asked them to stop and get them out

of my home, even if they don’t have time to come in and visit.

When I try to make plans to bring them their gifts, they say they have errands to run and they’ll let me know when they’re home. Then they wait until the next day to tell me they forgot, or they were out longer than expected.

We have no idea what’s going on in each other’s lives past the point of social media, which has shown me they’re minutes from my house at least once or twice a week. I understand life is busy, but it feels like they’re purposely avoiding me at this point.

Most of the gifts are personalized and can’t be returned or repurposed. But for those that

aren’t, at what point is it OK to give up trying to deliver them and return them to the seller? –

Tired Of Waiting Dear Tired: Sometimes no message sends a strong one. By now it should be clear to you those folks are not interested in receiving anything from you, and are probably not eager to continue any sort of personal relationship. If you need my permission or encouragement to return the items – if, indeed, any of them are still returnable – I’m giving it to you now.

Psychotherapy can treat borderline personality disorder Dear Dr. K: My daughter is in her 20s. She had a hard time during her teenage years and was recently diagnosed with borderline personality disorder. Can you tell me what this is?

Dear Reader: Borderline personality disorder (BPD) is a mental health condition that involves poor self-image, a feeling of emptiness and great difficulty being alone. BPD is surprisingly common: About 6 percent of the U.S. population suffers from it at some point in their lifetime.

People with BPD have intense moods and unstable relationships. They can be impulsive and have unsafe sex, drive dangerously, eat too much, drink too much and squander money.

ASK DR. K Anthony L. Komaroff Unfortunately, people with BPD are more likely than others to harm themselves. In fact, they are more likely than average to attempt or commit suicide.

We really don’t understand what causes BPD. Most doctors think it, as with many psychiatric illnesses, is a combination of genes and life experience. A person is born with a genetic vulnerability to develop the condition if he or she has certain life experiences. In particular, many teens and adults with BPD have experienced some form of abuse

in childhood, including verbal, physical or sexual abuse, as well as being separated from one or both parents.

A doctor will diagnose BPD when a person has had many of the following symptoms. The symptoms must be severe and be present for a long time: • Unstable, intense and difficult relationships; •Poor self-image; • Self-destructive, impulsive behavior; • Suicidal threats/attempts; • Self-mutilation; • Extreme mood reactions, including intense, inappropriate anger; • Feeling empty or alone; • Fear of abandonment; • Short-lived distortions of perception or belief. For example, a person may assume

a friend or family member hates them. In fact, the person may be only mildly annoyed or angry.

Psychotherapy is a key part of treatment. But this treatment itself can present challenges because people with BPD tend either to idealize the therapist or become easily frustrated with them. As a result, it may be difficult for them to sustain a relationship with a therapist.

Also, people with BPD may understand interpersonal problems or coping strategies on an intellectual level, but still may be unable to manage intense emotions.

Another approach helps people with BPD to look at issues from different points of view. It then encourages them

to use what they learn to better manage their own feelings and behaviors.

Medication is another treatment option. No single drug clearly helps treat BPD; instead, medication usually is used to treat symptoms.

A person with BPD also may need or benefit from extra support. This may include a day-treatment program, live-in treatment or group, couples or family therapy.

Most people experience at least some improvement in symptoms with treatment. Significant numbers even recover from the disorder.

End relationship with guy or your life will be miserable Dr. Wallace: I’m engaged to a guy I first started dating when we were in the 11th grade together. He was very handsome and a star athlete.

We have been out of school for two years. He got an athletic scholarship and went to college, but got kicked off the football team for being drunk and fighting with an assistant coach. I’m a food server at a four-star restaurant, and my fiancé now works at a new car dealership as a salesperson.

We are planning a June wedding in Las Vegas, but I’m beginning to have second thoughts. I don’t understand why some days he is wonderful and other days he is horrible. When he’s nice, he calls me sweetheart, but when he is horrible, you couldn’t print the names he calls me.

’TWEEN 12 & 20 Robert Wallace He tells me he loves me when he is nice, but when he isn’t nice he says it wouldn’t take much for him to kill me. I don’t really think he would, but it really hurts my feelings when he talks to me like that.

He always apologizes and says he won’t do it again, but he always does.

I’m in love with this guy, but I’m thinking my life could be miserable unless he changes. What should I do? I’d like your advice, but that doesn’t mean I’ll take it. – Nameless,

Long Beach, California Nameless: My advice is to end your relationship with

HOROSCOPE

this guy now or your life will be miserable until you do.

Your fiancé has a serious emotional problem. The following letter might give you cause to evaluate your future: Dr. Wallace: One day, my then-boyfriend and I were in my car and he was driving me home. Suddenly the dialogue between us went sour, and he said, “Well, if you don’t see things my way, then let’s just end it all right here together.”

He then put his head under the steering wheel and refused to guide the car. It all happened so unexpectedly I was stunned. Luckily, I had the sense to grab the wheel and guide it as we traveled at 75 mph down a major highway.

I pleaded with him to help me and he finally did when I told him I would do things his way.

SUDOKU

By EUGENIA LAST Newspaper Enterprise Association

TODAY – You’ll have plenty to look forward to if you focus on career objectives. Emotionally charged issues will arise if you are excessive or argumentative. Don’t postpone the inevitable. If something isn’t right, do whatever it takes to correct what isn’t working for you. Take care of business before moving forward.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) – Shake up your routine. Get involved in a hobby that motivates you. Revisit a project that you set aside because the timing wasn’t right. Put your needs first.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) – Doubts about a current relationship will need to be analyzed. If your feelings have changed, you have to be honest with yourself and your partner in order to fix what’s wrong.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) – Don’t punish yourself by sticking with an unhappy situation. You can improve your career options or personal relationships if you are willing to take decisive action.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) – Meetings or social engagements will bring you in contact with a potential partner. You will discover valuable information regarding your idea for a home business.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) – Tension in your personal life will stress you out. Moodiness or self-pity will not help your situation. Discuss your concerns. Getting problems out in the open will lead to a solution.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) – You will get back as much as you put in. Offer the world a joyful, helpful attitude. Share your good mood with people you want to spend more time with.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 22) – Stick to your agenda and don’t get sidetracked by taking on responsibilities that don’t belong to you. Make your primary interests your first priority. Use your creative imagination.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23-Dec. 21) – Be cautious if you are traveling. Focus on the jobs you are responsible for, and don’t stop until you are finished. Distraction will lead to a minor mishap or injury.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) – Add some excitement to your life. Do something out of the ordinary with a close friend or loved one. Take in a sporting or cultural event, or visit a local attraction.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) – Personal relationships, your dream job and where you would like to live should all be reflected upon. Decide what positive steps you can take to reach your goal.

PISCES (Feb. 20-March 20) – Not everyone will be honest with you. Expect someone to take credit for your work. Let others know what you have been up to if you want to gain positive recognition.

ARIES (March 21-April 19) – It’s up to you to make things happen. Don’t let anyone dissuade you from following your dreams.

Pursue your goals with determination and enthusiasm in order to make headway.

I knew we had been in grave danger and, for the first time, I realized Tony had a severe mental problem. He had no concern for either his life or mine. I refused to see him for a month, but his many apologies, cards and flowers made me forgive him, and we started dating again, and a year later we were married.

My entire family thought Tony was wonderful. So did his co-workers, his priest and his friends. But the problem was they only saw Dr. Jekyll, while I saw Mr. Hyde. When he got upset he would break dishes and throw things. We had a son, and when he was a year old, Tony whipped the infant with his belt. I had to keep our son away from his father for his own protection.

I have now realized

BRIDGE Phillip Alder

marrying Tony was a horrible decision, and I am in the process of getting a divorce.

I’m writing this letter to tell teens that when you observe poor judgment, instability or signs of mental illness in the person you are dating, don’t take it lightly.

He may say he will change and try to convince you he will, but chances are he won’t, at least not without professional help. – Sad, Tucson,

Ariz.

Sad: Thanks for sharing with our readers. It takes courage to talk about our mistakes and the lessons we’ve learned, and these stories can be effective caution signs for the younger generation.

CROSSWORD

Yes, the defenders can win six tricks Joan Rivers said, “I hate housework. You make the beds, you do the dishes – and six months later you have to start all over again.”

In today’s deal, the defenders need six tricks to defeat South’s two-spade contract.

How can they do it?

After South opens one spade and West makes a takeout double, North raises to two spades. However, as this might be done with a much weaker hand, some pairs use a conventional response (some employ two clubs, others two hearts) to indicate a good three-card single raise. Discuss with your partner if this appeals to you.

Maybe West should have doubled a second time, because three diamonds is makable.

West starts with three top hearts, East playing high-low, then discarding ... what?

East would like a club shift, so he should discard the club seven. West now leads his club three, low guaranteeing at least one honor in the suit.

East wins with his ace and returns the club two. West takes that trick and leads his third club, which East ruffs to defeat the contract.

How does West know East can ruff the third club?

If East had started with four clubs, after discarding the highest spot card and winning with his ace, he would have returned the higher of his last two clubs: high-low with a remaining doubleton.
